This tour is a great experience for those who want to see the place where the 192 Athenians died fighting against the Persians for Greece's freedom and where the Authentis Marathon Race was born.

Seeing the Battlefields was great. We got plenty of pictures that we can show to friends. We loved our tour guide by the name of Alexander. He made the long car rides between Battlefields enjoyable with his knowledge of history.

We had a lovely tour to Marathon accompanied by our driver George. If you are interested in classical antiquity and particularely the greco-persian wars, I would highly recommend this.
The Marathon museum and monuments are not particularely spectacular compared to what you can see in Athens, but visiting the place of one of ancient history most important battles was a fulfilling experience for history enthusiasts. The view from the vantage point was terrific. You could get a great overview of the Marthon valley and imagine how it all played out 2500 years ago.
George had great knowledge and was eager to explain details of the battle. He was very accomodating and it was also lovely chatting with him about other topics.

Alex was an amazing guide and incredibly Knowledgeable about so many topics. Our attraction to this tour was to see the birthplace of the first marathon run, and it was an unforgettable experience. But the history made it so much more than we could have dreamt of.
